Then......we were making plans to go away for the weekend to get a little workout on hills. We are camping in a tent. If I had my new bike, where would I put it. A tent is not secure, the top of the car is not secure. If I get a bike with a new seat mast, I can't take the seat on/off all the time, to put it inside the car.....maybe I need 2 new bikes. So... what do the rest of you do, when you cycle the week-long rides, Ride the Rockies, Cycle North Carolina, Texas Hell Week, etc when you take nice bikes. Do have a travel bike? Do you only ride the "nice" bike on club rides?
I'd just use a U-lock and cable. If I was really worried I might rig something up to make noise if it were moved.
You could use fishing line and tie one end on the bike and the other around your toe
